The Packers' injury-ravaged outside linebacker group is starting to get healthy.

Clay Matthews and Nick Perry, who have battled injuries and have been missing in action, were on the practice field today inside the Don Hutson Center.

Matthews wore a club on his hand to protect his healing broken thumb, which he injured exactly one month ago -- Oct. 6 in the Lions game. Matthews was doing some individual work with his position coach, Kevin Greene.

Perry, meanwhile, is recovering from a foot injury.

The only players not practicing were Aaron Rodgers, who broke his collarbone on Monday night against the Chicago Bears, and guard T.J. Lang, who suffered a concussion against the Bears.

Rodgers was in attendance at practice hanging out with the quarterbacks. He didn't appear to be wearing a sling or brace.
